I am here, Jesus.
Yes, your country, America, is going downhill in so many
ways, and other countries are crowding out her former
supremacy.
And yet, don't forget that she gave the world the concept
and idea of freedom as a form of government.
You are thinking, that was over 200 years ago, and America
has in so many ways, and in such a long period of time,
been blatantly untrue to her founding idea.
Well, yes, many things she has done have been wrong. But
there was always dissent, and there were always those
Americans and American institutions that kept alive the
original vision.
It is not your own patriotism that is saying what I now
say, that your country will occupy a leading role, not
based on military might, political power, or economic
domination, but on the very principle of freedom that
inspired her birth.
Though it happened centuries before, the principle is alive today
as it was then - and even more so. For, as you know, the idea of
freedom is at the core of my teachings - the concept that we human
beings, whether mortals or spirits, have free will; yes, we were
born with this gift. This is not narrow-minded flag-waving - it
is the most basic spiritual truth.
Your country is young. Wisdom requires experience and
time. But many people in your country have already woken
up.
What will surface more and more is the influence of the
views of the original Natives, for as the world moves
toward greater harmony, the best aspects of Native
philosophy will be perceived as valuable.
They will not lose ground by having the dominant society
take from them their heritage. On the contrary, their ways
of thinking will be taken more seriously by many.
All along, whites have been intrigued, and even enamored
of their culture, and this process will accelerate. For
God is a God who always works for justice, and He
perceives that the demands of Natives for their rights is
a just cause.
And it is not unrealistic what I have said, for everyone
knows that the American economic system, among others, is
destroying the environment, and not providing for the
needs of its citizens. So it will be pointed out that
right in the heart of the land is a large group of people
who can provide reasonable alternatives. The fact that
they have been persecuted so brutally and so consistently
for over 500 years will give them credibility in the eyes
of those Americans who are fair-minded, which includes the
majority.
Yes, I know you yourself are passionate about this
subject, but you have truly allowed my thoughts about
these Native Americans to come through. Don't doubt
yourself. It happens that your passion about this subject
is totally aligned with the opinion of the higher spirits.
Justice is justice, no matter in what form it may appear.
The problem with historical Christianity is that it has
been unable to separate from the restricted culture of the
various societies in which these Christians found
themselves. And so, you had Europeans coming to America,
and instead of loving the Natives, as I would have done,
they enslaved them and committed genocide. And that is
because they could not see beyond their limited culture.
You made the mistake of judging them, and thus, you were unable
to see that in their limited and admittedly imperfect way, they
did understand spiritual truth. Here I am referring to the Pilgrims.
Your passionate defense of Native Americans blinded you to anything
good the European settlers might have done. I am glad you have revised
your opinion of them. And well you should, for many of these same
Pilgrims, who have progressed to the Celestial Heavens, are now
actively engaged in the great redemptive work that is now in progress
on the Earth, and nothing can stop it.
And one of our goals is to liberate religion, so that the
inner Truth, which I fully represented, and continue to
represent, will come to the surface, and the noxious
effect of the evils of sectarian religion will be put
aside. And I am referring not just to Christianity, but
also to other religions, such as Judaism and Islam.
People must learn, and will learn, that religion is not
about aggressive imposing of one's will, but about love,
pure and simple. And the greatest love is the Divine Love,
which leads to the New Birth of the soul.
